There are fewer people in Kaifeng Prefecture, but there are more people in Tianjin.

More people should be a good thing. Unlike Kaifeng, which is located in the Central Plains, where the land is barren and transportation is not convenient, Tianjin can only rely on the increasingly dilapidated water transportation system to transfer grain from other places, so it is difficult to maintain an overpopulation. And it has to be limited by means of "high housing prices".

Tianjin is located in the Bohai Bay, where a boundary river runs through the city and leads directly to the sea. By sea, Tianjin can get sufficient and cheap grain, and there is no problem of food supply at all.

Moreover, there is enough land around Tianjin, not to mention a metropolis of millions of people, even ten times more is not a problem.

Therefore, since the era of Jiehe Commercial City, Tianjin does not have to worry about the problem of population expansion.

However, in the spring of the 11th year of the Republic, Wu Yijiu, the head of the Great Zhou Republic, was a little worried.

It's not that the entire city of Tianjin is overpopulated, but outside his Führer's Palace, on the Republic Square...... Tens of thousands of people have been gathered there since the beginning of the first lunar month, refusing to leave, setting up tents and sleeping on the streets. There were also people begging from passing Tianjin citizens. What's more, Tianjin's crime rate has also risen sharply because of their arrival.

Oh, these people didn't come to Tianjin to ask for food. If that's the case, Wu Yijiu won't have a headache.

Although the ruling government of the Great Zhou Republic did not care much about local disaster relief, it now happened to have the Yellow River, the Huai River and the canal to be completed. There are still cash-for-work or something.

In addition, the municipal offices and chambers of commerce in Tianjin organize activities to help the poor. What kind of clothing donation, what soup kitchen, what kind of orphanage home, what kind of orphanage and so on. It's really not easy to starve to death in Tianjin.

In addition, there are many different employment opportunities in Tianjin, so much so that all job seekers can always find jobs!

Of course, anyone can find a job that is not satisfying. Rather, it is the work of sailors of maritime merchants, thugs of chartered traders, and so on.

In addition, there is always the opportunity to become a farmer in overseas Java and Nanyang Province, depending on whether you really reach the point where you can't survive in the Great Zhou country.

Therefore, Wu Yijiu wanted to give an order for the Marine Corps to send people to come and arrest all those people in Republic Square and throw them on the island of Java.

But he couldn't do this, because the people in the square were all scholars who had lost their land in Hebei and Jingdong prefectures and organized a protest petition in Tianjin...... Protest and petition, but the power of the civilians of the Great Zhou Republic, even the head of Wuda himself, cannot be taken away.

Moreover, Wu Yijiu had just taken advantage of the victory in the Song and Zhou wars to be elected head of state for the second time - this was his first term of office. Now that his term of office has just begun, he can't do anything to undermine the "Republic Law", right?

"Daddy, are we being too polite to these civilians?"

Standing in front of the open glass window of the Führer's Palace, looking at the messy scene in the square outside, Wu Yijiu asked his father Wu Haogu with some suspicion.

"How?" Wu Haogu smiled, "Do you want to revise the Covenant Law?" ”

The power of the commoners to petition the book comes from the "Covenant Law", and if you want to go back up, it is the power granted to the subjects by the court of the Great Song Dynasty. The common people of the Song Dynasty could also write and talk about things, petition the government, and beat the drum to petition the Son of Heaven.

The elders of the era when the "Republic Covenant" was formulated all believed that the Great Zhou Republic was a more progressive country than the Great Song Dynasty, and of course it was not possible to deprive civilians of the right to petition while giving them rights.

But this time the civilian petition is obviously a bit vexatious......

Wu Yijiu shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate to revise the Covenant Law...... After all, our citizens can surrender on their behalf, and if civilians are deprived of their rights now, many citizens will also be dissatisfied. If there is a citizen petition, the trouble is even greater. ”

Citizen...... It is to include military citizens!

The Great Zhou Republic had a very loose management of weapons, so many military citizens owned military weapons!

"But how long will their petition last?" Wu Yijiu frowned. "It's been almost two months, and there is no point in dispersing at all."

Wu Haogu shook his head, "It's hard to say, after all, we took away other people's land, and they are not allowed to protest and petition?" Maybe it'll be until we finish allocating the land, right?

Then they have no hope and should disperse on their own. And when the river workers also became bigger, there were more job opportunities, and the peasants went to make money, and the squires were helpless. ”

Concessions are out of the question...... Concessions, what to do with the hundreds of thousands of military citizens waiting for land?

Where did the funds for repairing the Huai River come from?

As Wu Haogu spoke, he put a paper of the imperial examination on Wu Yijiu's desk - he came to see the examination paper of the Ministry of Rites today.

The ruling government of the Great Zhou Republic was basically trustworthy.

If it is said that "no mergers will be suppressed, and the imperial examination will be carried out," it will be conscientiously implemented.

It's just that the ruling government of the republic only made promises to Hedong - in exchange for the support of the landlords and doctors in Hedong, laying the mass foundation for the rapid advance of the Hedong Army.

However, Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, and Gyeonggi have no reason to touch the light of Hedong.

So now the Ministry of Rites of the Great Zhou Republic will hold a separate examination in Hedong Juzi!

The person who took the examination was the Jinshi of the Great Zhou Republic, and later he would be awarded the political appointee of the Hedong Autonomous Province.

By the way, after the victory of this "Central Plains War", the Great Zhou Republic will comprehensively adjust its administrative divisions. Establish a three-level administrative system of provinces, prefectures, counties and cities.

The provinces will include Beizhili (formerly Yandi, Tianjin), Hebei (Hebei Lianglu), Hedong, Henan (including part of the land of Gyeonggi, Jingbeibei, Jingxi and other roads), Shandong (mainly Jingdong), Nanzhili (Xuzhou, Haizhou, etc.), Liaoxi, Liaodong, Liaobei (Huanglongfu), Gaoli, Haidong (east of Liaodong to the sea), Andong (including Taiwan, Zhongshan, Tamnadao, Pusan, etc.), Annam, Nanyang, Saibei and other two Beijing and thirteen provinces (Nanbei Zhili is counted as Liangjing).

The provinces are also divided into two categories: directly under the central government and autonomous provinces, including Hedong, Goryeo, Nanyang, Annam, Andong, Saibei, Liaobei and other seven, and the rest are directly under the central government.

The Governor of the provinces and the principal members of the Governor's Yamen are appointed directly by the ruling government, but require the approval of the provincial councils, which also have the power to impeach.

As for the governors of the autonomous provinces, they are elected in different ways, some are elected by the parliament, and some are appointed by the ruling government...... There doesn't even have to be a parliament.

The Hedong Autonomous Province, on the other hand, was an autonomous province that retained the old system of the Song Dynasty, with no parliament and key officials appointed by the ruling government. However, it cannot be appointed at will, only civil officials from Jinshi can be appointed, and seniority and seniority must be considered, just like the promotion and dismissal of civil officials in the Song Dynasty......

"Then it will take at least a few months......" Wu Yijiu shook his head, looking helpless.

Where is the land distribution in Hebei, Henan, Shandong, and Nanzhili provinces so quickly? Moreover, after the distribution is completed, it is necessary to elect parliaments at all levels, establish governments at all levels, form civil services, and recruit affairs officials before large-scale river work can be carried out.

In addition, how to come to the river work must also be carefully studied and scientifically planned. Not to mention a few months, it is possible to do it for a year or two.

Construction after the planning is complete, which is actually in full swing before the planning is completed, as there will be a lot of preparatory work, is more likely to last for several years...... This is a huge systematic project to control the Huai River, the Yellow River, and the canal!

And also in the Middle Ages......

It can be said that for the sake of this huge project, the Great Zhou Republic will not be able to wage a large-scale war in the next ten years.

Du Chong's big water is indeed a tiring plan.

"Daddy," Wu Yijiu changed the topic at this time, "Yesterday I received a report from the Military Machinery Department of the Metropolitan Army, saying that the eldest brother is coming to Tianjin soon, and he will bring Wanyan Zongbi with him." You see......"

"Hmm," Wu Haogu nodded, "let them go west, there is only one way to go west...... If they don't go, they will go. ”

In fact, going west is more promising! However, Xiao Sese was unwilling to stay away from the protection of Wu Haogu, so he prepared to establish his own royal city in Kedun City and Hedong City. The former is called Saikyo and the latter is called Tokyo.

Since Xiao Si Se is reluctant to go far, it is not bad to let the Jurchens go west to toss the Europeans.

Someone has to be God's whip, right?

As far as Wu Haogu knows, now the West already has a whip of Allah! It was Yelu Dashi, whose Western Liao had defeated the Seljuk Empire and replaced him as the master of Persia. The capital was moved to the city of Tabriz, and for a time it invaded Baghdad, forcing the caliph to pay tribute to the city of Tauri.

Of course, the Great Stone was not as ferocious as the Mongols, and did not destroy the city of Baghdad or the Abbasid caliphate.

Maybe this caliphate system will live on......

"But when they are gone, the land of Hetao and Yinshan will return to the Western Song Dynasty, will the Western Song Dynasty be too strong?"

Wu Yijiu voiced his concerns.

"Too strong?" Wu Haogu smiled, "How can a militaristic state with a population of 30 million not be strong?"

But we're not weak! There are a total of five people in Hebei, Hedong, Henan, Shandong, and Nanzhi, and the population is more than 20 million, right? Now we have a population of 40 million in Dazhou!

Do 40 million people need to be afraid of 30 million people? Besides, we can't fight with the Western Song Dynasty for the sake of the Jin people, right?

And what if the Western Song Dynasty took a little corner of the grassland? Our Saibei Province and the bleak Beixi Kingdom can control most of the grassland! ”

"That's what Daddy said," Wu Yijiu nodded, "It's just that our peace with the Western Song Dynasty was also unsuccessful, and Jing Chu also had vague signs of breaking away from the Western Song Dynasty." How should we lay it out? Do you want to push it up? ”
